Maine

Maine is one of the most unique winegrowing regions in the northeastern United States. Spanning from the rocky Atlantic coastline to the inland forests and rolling hills, Maine's diverse landscape offers a wide array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Atlantic Ocean play a major role in cooling Maine's vineyards, sending breezes and chilly air inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the coast, while further inland, more robust wines prevail. Maine's growing wine industry is crafting exceptional wines that reflect the state's unique and dynamic environmental conditions.
